TLDR
Branched-chain fatty acids of the iso and anteiso series occur in many bacteria as the major acyl constituents of membrane lipids and are an important criterion used to aid identification and classification of bacteria.About:

Aerobic methanotrophy in the oxic-anoxic transition zone of the black sea water column
TL;DR: In this paper, high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) was used to show that intact bacteriohopanoids, characteristic for aerobic methanotrophic bacteria, clearly increase in the sub-oxic part of the chemocline compared to water above and below this depth interval.

Crucial Role for Membrane Fluidity in Proliferation of Primitive Cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that purely biophysical processes may have been sufficient for proliferation of primitive cells and uncovered a crucial role for branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA) synthesis.

Polyketide synthases of bacterial symbionts in sponges--evolution-based applications in natural products research.
Thomas Hochmuth,Jörn Piel +1 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent work of the laboratory on the study of polyketide synthases (PKSs) and revealed two evolutionarily distinct, unusual PKS types that are commonly found in sponge metagenomes and were shown to be of bacterial origin.

Staphylococcus aureus FabI: Inhibition, Substrate Recognition and Potential Implications for In Vivo Essentiality
TL;DR: This work has obtained a series of snapshots of this enzyme that provide a mechanistic picture of ligand and inhibitor binding, including a dimer-tetramer transition combined with extensive conformational changes that rationalizes the finding that saFabI is capable of efficiently reducing branched-chain fatty acid precursors.

Effect of temperature on production of lipopeptide antibiotics, iturin A and surfactin by a dual producer, Bacillus subtilis RB14, in solid-state fermentation
TL;DR: Temperature dependency of the production of iturin A and surfactin by a dual producer, Bacillus subtilis RB14, in the solid-state fermentation of okara was investigated and only the ratios of homologues having β-amino acid residues with normal aliphatic chains were affected.

Fatty acid and polar lipid composition in the classification of Cellulomonas, Oerskovia and related taxa
TL;DR: Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography showed that almost identical and very characteristic polar lipid patterns were given by all the organisms under study: the only major components were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosph atidylinositol and two phospho-glycolipids chromatographing similarly to, but distinguishable from, the mono- and diacyl phosphatidolinositols characteristic of Nocardia and other actinomycetes.

Lipids in the Classification and Identification of Coryneform Bacteria Containing Peptidoglycans Based on 2, 4-diaminobutyric Acid
M. D. Collins,Dorothy Jones +1 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study indicate that lipid markers may be of considerable value in the classification and identification of 2, 4-diaminobutyric acid-containing phytopathogenic and saprophytic coryneform bacteria.
